ed tags islam moses patience prophet qur an religion surat al kahaf leave a comment 60 behold moses said to his attendant i will not give up until i reach the junction of the two seas or until i spend years and years in travel 61 but when they reached the junction they forgot about their fish which took its course through the sea straight as in a tunnel 62 when they had passed on some distance moses said to his attendant bring us our early meal truly we have suffered much fatigue at this stage of our journey 63 he replied sawest thou what happened when we betook ourselves to the rock i did indeed forget about the fish none but satan made me forget to tell you about it it took its course through the sea in a marvelous way 64 moses said that was what we were seeking after so they went back on their footsteps following the path they had come 65 so they found one of our servants on whom we had bestowed mercy from ourselves and whom we had taught knowledge from our own presence these verses were revealed describing the incident when moses peace be upon him and the people around him thought that he was the most knowledgeable person out there god however informed moses of a man who had more knowledge and wisdom than he did which lead moses to go on a journey to search for this man and learn from him what you learn from the aforementioned verses is that knowledge is of extreme importance and one must always be seeking knowledge regardless of how knowledgeable they already are the prophet muhammad peace be upon him said seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every muslim male and female al bukhari prophet moses peace be upon him felt obliged to go and seek the extra knowledge even though many would have thought that he didn t need it he traveled very long distances and struggled to gain that extra bit of knowledge imam al shafi i once said to his students think of your brain as a bucket you dip the bucket in a sea full of water knowledge when you take the bucket out you may feel that you have all the knowledge that you need because what you can see is a bucket full of water i e a brain full of knowledge there is however a whole sea full of water which you did not explore yet therefore never let the knowledge which you have lead you into thinking that you don t need more as that is the first step towards ignorance you would also notice that moses set himself very high targets and was refusing to give up which manifests the importance of knowledge to him the fact that he had ordered his attendant to bring enough food for the journey before setting off is a sign of determination it shows that moses peace be upon him did not want to spend time hunting for food as for him that would be time wasted his sheer determination is further manifested in the most testing part of the journey when they re both hungry and tired from the very long journey and realise that the fish they wanted to have for lunch had made its way in to the sea miraculously moses reaction was to acknowledge that this was the clue which god had promised him hence one must be patient when facing what may be perceived as obstacles now that he knew which direction he needs to go he made use of every second and carried on his journey spending no time eating or even resting this shows that his goal was always on his mind even during the times of rest and attaining that extra knowledge was always his main priority as well as highlighting the importance of seeking knowledge these verses teach us a lesson in prioritising setting high targets patience perseverance and determination july 14 2009 patience is a virtue posted by alhadithi under difficulties hadith islam patience prophet muhammad qur an solutions supplication 3 comments i ve not blogged in a pretty long time as i got quite busy with exams and then spent two weeks at wimbledon where i didn t have internet access i ve bee going through rough times over the past few weeks so i decided to write something about patience in theory every one talks about patience and how much of a virtue it is but the question is how many people actually implement this beautiful concept one of the marvelous qualities of the beloved prophet muhammad peace and blessings of god be upon him was his infinite patience god was with muhammad as he is always with those who patiently persevere god is certainly with those who patiently persevere al baqarah 2 153 the qur anic word used for patience is sabr and there is no english equivalent for it we can only convey the idea of sabr by phrases such as patience with delay endurance against afflictions perseverance against hardships steadfastness in the face of setbacks self restraint against provocations courage against hostilities and will power against temptations every one out there would face times when every thing seems to go wrong for them facing difficulties leaves one feeling very lonely it also leads you into thinking that everyone else s life is going smoothly this is yet another area where you see the beauty of islam it teaches us that there will always be good and bad times and it also teaches us how to react in each case 1 to be thankful grateful during the good times and 2 to be patient and strong in during the difficult times the beauty in the islamic approach to difficulties is it teaches you to change your perception of the problem i e seeing the glass half full as opposed to half empty the way islam does this is by wiping out this evil feeling of loneliness by teaching you that god is always with you this leads you to change your perception of the scenario from being oh god i have a big problem to being oh problem i have almighty god which gives you confidence thus putting you in a position of strength to be able to remain patient when facing problems one always tries to understand a why they re facing that particular problem b if there is a solution to that problem and c what that solution would be islam answers all three questions a the problem is a test from god the prophet pbuh said the following god keeps testing the person whom he loves until that person has no more sins to be forgiven for narrated by imam bukhari strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his for if he has an occasion to feel delight he thanks god thus there is good in it in it and if faces troubles and hardship he endures it patiently there is good in it for him narrated by imam muslim the reward you get from going through good and difficult times makes you a winner in either case umar may god be pleased with him once said if people were aware of what god had hidden for them in every test which they go through they would pray for more such tests b god the almighty also teaches us that there s a solution to every problem and that with difficulty comes relief god the almighty says in the holy quran chapter 95 the relief so verily with the difficulty there is relief verily with the difficulty there is relief if you read the verses above in arabic you d realise that both verses refer to the same difficulty this however is not the case with relief implying that the relief mentioned in the first verse is not the same as that mentioned in the second even though both verses are referring to one problem hence for every difficulty there are at least two sources of relief when this verse was revealed to the prophet phuh he smiled and said spread the glad tidings one difficulty cannot beat the minimum of two sources of relief i e the difficulty is outnumbered by the sources of relief some scholars say that the sources of relief are as follows 1 the solution s to the problem being faced 2 the reward for being patient and persevering c trusting god relying on him and being patient the source of the prophet s courageous determination in the face of all the traumatic experiences he suffered was his strong faith in god and his dependence on him the prophet s conviction that god was with him when he was struggling with adverse circumstances is evident from this verse in the holy qur an in which allah says he the prophet muhammad being the second of the two when they were both in the cave when he said to his companion grieve not surely god is with us so god sent down his tranquility upon them strengthened them with hosts that you did not see at tawbah 9 40 using this approach truly puts your mind at ease because it teaches you to rely on allah as he as the solutions to every problem thus freeing your mind from your own difficulties allowing you to carry on with your life knowing that the solution will come another beautiful concept to remember is du a supplication god orders muslims to ask him for whatever they may want need and promises them to a answer their requests and b reward them for the supplication so one must look at problems from this angle if everything in life goes exactly how you want it to go you ll never need to ask god for anything hence you ll be missing out on the huge rewards which you get from using the tool of supplication which god provides you with to help you through times of difficulties june 6 2009 why interest isn t halal posted by alhadithi under islamic finance tags interest islamic finance religion wealth 2 comments an observation of any modern interest based society demonstrates that interest in arabic riba is the enemy of charity and that the two interest and charity cannot coexist charity here is not in reference to a few coins offered to a homeless individual but rather charity that provides liquidity which subsequently contributes towards building societies and ensuring financial stability what interest does ultimately is it alters society s morals and principles from value based ones into exchange based ones inevitably our ethical and moral values are the primary victims in any interest based society and as we have seen with current events the less fortunate do not have the ability to keep up with such an exchange which ensures that they become victims of a system in which the benefits tend to be in one direction the islamic financial system neither endorses the capitalist nor the communist financial model instead it is a belief system that cannot be compared to either nor rivaled however both the capitalist and socialist systems share certain elements with islam such as encouraging people to work to be productive and to earn as much as they can nevertheless islam encourages the aforementioned within certain moral guidelines that are divinely ordained furthermore since islam promotes an awareness of the hereafter in the hearts and minds of believers it instructs them not to be overcome by greed being excessively attached to money in islam if an individual earns a lot he she is encouraged to take part in spending from his her earnings this means that the more he she acquires the more he she spends and the more other people benefit from his her wealth hence the principle of zakat purification of the wealth which is a compulsory charity paid annually whereby 2 5 of one s annual savings are paid to bait ul maal literally means the money house which distributes the money to the poor islam also gives incentives for spending voluntarily towards charity by even making it a means for repenting from certain sins such as the breaking of an oath promise you see so many people who have incurred huge amounts of debt and are now struggling to pay off their monthly installments for house mortgages and loans whilst one can justifiably argue that those who spent recklessly should now face the consequences of their actions it is also worth bearing in mind that the banks also have a duty to lend responsibly and that there are large numbers of people who are financially illiterate and in need of greater protection this simply shows that an interest based system makes transactions much easier for those who cannot afford them therefore tempting them to take on such transactions which would in turn benefit the already rich service provider at the expense of the not so rich consumer in contrast the islamic system mandates the rich to look after the poor and to grant them the opportunity to become wealthier and to stand up on their feet such a system will maintain the sense of selflessness within the society such a system would also result in the boom and bust curve becoming smoother it would also lead to a society with very few if any poor people the sense of sharing would ensure that all the wealth in society is spent towards keeping the society s economy stable at no body s expense god in the holy qur an says we sent thee not but a mercy for all creatures 20 107 and a true mercy would be one who spends their money wisely setting a fair amount of their wealth aside to spend towards charity and helping the poor not one who would set rules and policies which would make him her richer at the expense of those who need his her service god always reminds people in the qur an that he provides wealth to whom so ever he wills as a test to see whether or not that person will be generous or greedy as muslims we believe that on the day of judgment people will be held accountable for three main things one of which is their wealth it s sources and where it was all spent so let not your wealth be earned or spent at the expense of others in islam disobedience to god is forgiven for by the simplest forms of repentance whereas taking away other people s rights would only be forgiven for if a their rights have been given back to them or b they decided to forgive you this highlights the importance of protecting the community as well as other people s rights and most importantly self discipline interest is simply money earned at the expense of others i e taking away peoples rights for your own personal gain which breaks bonds within the community creates a lack of trust and breaks the sense of sharing and selflessness hence another extremely important reason why it is not permissible to give take interest in islam subscribe to abdu s blog making the most of ramadhan virtues of fasting on ashura the
